Political reconstructionism

I want to change the government.
Every politician is corrupt.

This, of course, is a result of a political conversation. My sister is a democrat. I hear her rambling on and on about "republican" this "bush" that. "Foreign policy", "jobs", "bla bla bla".

We need a radio station
We need a television station
We need pod casts
We need satellite broadcasts
Devoted to politics.
We need to know everything there is to know about our candidates.
We need to know the good and the bad
We need an unbiased research agency to study our candidates and report to us.
We need unfiltered and unadulterated truth.
Every politician is corrupt.

We need the agency to report this, to report the level of corruption.

Our votes and opinions should have no connection to advertising.
Our votes and opinions should have no connection to money, or buyouts.
The government should support itself when it comes to elections.
No candidate should have any more coverage than the next.
The government "for the people, by the people" does not exist. It has evolved, devolved into this corrupt money-laundering monster. A monster that needs to be taught a lesson. We need to stand up against the government that has become this monster. You and I, blue collar and frustrated, need to stand up for what is right. We have been pushed around and bullied far too long.

I am not speaking of a revolution.
I am not speaking of anarchy
(that would be immature and idiotic)
What I am speaking of is............. A new government. Rewriting the constitution.

The United States of America is not the same as it was. We are not the small idealistic nation that we once were. We are not a self sufficient perfect nation.
Our government has become nothing more than a big business. This is true.
We only make decisions for monetary gain. Our elections are based upon money. Our policies are skewed to show more profit. Our actions as a nation are all dictated by money and not society.

I understand that some communism may not be the best.
I understand that some democracies are not the best.
I understand that anarchy is not the best.
But what is so wrong with fixing our government? What is so wrong with changing the system for the benefit of it's people? What is so bad about adapting?
Mostly, what is so wrong with trying?
Why must we stick with this constitution that was written in a different time, culture and state of mind than our own.

Call me an idiot; call me what you will, but I just don't understand.

That brings about a question.....

What do infants dream?

do they dream of womb and doctor?
do they dream of blood and muffled sound?
do they dream of fluid motion?
do they dream at all?
It has been said that the blind do not dream with images. The blind dream with sound and touch.
I am sure that the same could be said for a person with a lack of feeling; dreaming in sights and sound.
I am sure that the same could be said for one without hearing; dreaming in touch and sight.
I am sure that the same could be said for a person who cannot see color; dreaming in black and white and gray and sound and touch.
I do not taste in my dreams.
I do not dream of scent.
Although I have touch, I do not dream with it.
I perceive colors.
I perceive images.
I perceive sounds.
I want to dream like a newborn.
I want my mind to have nothing but itself.
I would like my imagination without reference.
I would like true reflection.


If a fetus would dream without senses, I would envy that dream.
